Several suspects robbed a jewelry store at an outlet mall along U.S. 290 in northwest Harris County Wednesday morning.

The heist happened about 9 a.m. at a Zales jewelry store in the 23800 block of Hempstead Highway, said Assistant Chief Deputy Mark Herman of the Harris County Precinct 4 Constable's Office.

Herman said the suspects followed employees into the store as the workers arrived to open the business for the day. The suspects tied up the workers. They stole jewelry and then dashed out of the store.
